As the year winds down and the holidays are upon us, we want to extend a merry greeting to everyone! Remember, staying connected over the holidays is important because it reminds us that we are a part of a community. When the season can feel busy, emotional, and overwhelming, a simple phone call or text, or shared cup of coffee can lift spirits and reduce loneliness. So reach out to someone, whether family, friends, or neighbors, who might be feeling isolated. Connecting is a gift we can give and receive, and even small gestures make a big difference.

QUOTES TO MAKE YOU THINK

“It is so important to showcase people with disabilities with intersectional identities because that allows viewers to see beyond disability….People with disabilities are multilayered—we are complex breathing human beings defined by more than just what we lack.” ~ Lauren Ridloff

Joke of the Month

A boy asks his father, “Dad, are bugs good to eat?” His dad replies, “We don’t talk about things like that at dinner, it’s gross.” After dinner the father asks, “Now son, what did you want to ask me?” “Oh nothing,” the boy says. “There was a bug in your soup, but it’s gone now.”
